The Carpet Of Horror (1962) Available July 11

#horror – #horrormovies – #TheCarpetOfHorror – #SinisterCinema – @sinistercinema –

Small poison gas balls mean certain death in this well-made, stylish Krimi Euro-thriller. These pellets of death are used by a mad genius to gain revenge against his adversaries. Although not officially an Edgar Wallace film, Carpet of Horror looks every bit the part with Wallace regulars Berger and Dor playing the same kind of roles they played over at Rialto Films-home of the German Edgar Wallace films. Distributed by the same distributor as Rialto, Constantin Films. Also similar in flavor to the Dr. Mabuse films of the same period. The film was directed by Harald Reinl, another Rialto-Wallace regular. Dor is her usual stunningly beautiful self as she portrays the niece of one of the killer’s victims. Great opening sequence as the killer strikes his first victim; watch for the cool scene with an exploding sports car.

STARRING: Karin Dor, Fernando Sancho

The Hyperboloid Of Engineer Garin (1965) Available July 11

#horror – #horrormovies – #TheHyperboloidOfEngineerGarin – #SinisterCinema – @sinistercinema –

This is an amazing mad scientist film laced with espionage and intrigue. Garin is a mad inventor who has created (with stolen plans) an apparatus called the Hyperboloid. It is a death ray of unparalleled destructive power. He is bound and determined to hold supreme power over Earth and commits atrocity after atrocity, with little regard for the consequences of his actions or the effect they might have on mankind. He is of course bewitched by a beautiful woman, who helps speed him along on his course to self-destruction. The scenes of death ray carnage are astonishing. Watch as Garin blows a war fleet of battleships out of the water. Wow. The film features beautiful black and white cinematography the use of light and shadow is excellent! The many rogue-ish characters are masterfully portrayed by an assortment of soviet thespians. But what really helps this film is it’s off-beat music score, which has, in certain moments, a bit of a tongue-in-cheek quality to it. The Hyperboloid of Engineer Garin is a film you don’t want to miss.

The Ghoul (1933) Available July 11

#horror – #horrormovies – #TheGhoul – #SinisterCinema – @sinistercinema –

This is the one of the true horror masterpieces of British cinema of the 1930s. Karloff has great fun as a dead Egyptologist who returns from the grave to seek vengeance on those who defiled his tomb. Much of the action takes place in a spooky mansion during a night with a full moon. The moment when Thesiger see Karloff open the door of his tomb and step into the moonlight is unforgettable. This film also boasts one of the finest music scores of any horror film from the 1930s. The scene where Karloff engraves ancient symbols onto his chest with a knife is a stunner! A must.

The Man Who Lived Again (1936) Available July 11

#horror – #horrormovies – #TheManWhoLivedAgain – #SinisterCinema – @sinistercinema –

Karloff does in this role, what Lugosi did in his role as Dr. Vollin in THE RAVEN. He let’s it all hang out as he plays the mad Dr. Laurience, who invents a fantastic device that transfers personalities from one body to another. Don’t confuse this title with some of Karloff’s later Columbia mad doctor pictures. This one was produced by British Gaumont and easily stands on it’s own merits. Great lab scenes and a terrific climax. One of the classic horror films of the 1930’s. Never seen it? You’re missing one helluva movie.

The Woman From China (1930) Available July 11

#horror – #horrormovies – #TheWomanFromChina – #SinisterCinema – @sinistercinema –

A beautiful Chinese maiden (who could easily pass for white) enters into a more or less arranged marriage with an older, wealthy Dutch businessman. The marriage was set up by a sinister Chinese racketeer, who is to receive half the inheritance after the murder of her husband. She also helps kidnap a sailor’s fiancee, whom the Chinaman lusts for; while, conversely, she lusts to have the sailor for herself. Unfortunately, the sailor has found out that the Chinaman is a contraband smuggler and must die! It all ends up in a dockside rumble with bullets flying and knives plunging. McLaughlin is quite good as the evil Chinese merchant, whose wharf-side hideout is filled with secret panels and passageways, torture chambers, and an elaborate secret room. Suedo gives a terrific performance as the femme fatale, aided by her beautiful, dark, penetrating eyes. As far as we know this is the first time on video for this late British silent film, which is full of enjoyable over-the-top Yellow Peril drama and expressive acting.

Whom The Gods Wish To Destroy (1967) Available July 11

#horror – #horrormovies – #WhomTheGodsWishToDestroy – #SinisterCinema – @sinistercinema –

Whom the Gods Wish to Destroy was originally released in the U.S. as a single feature film. However, like Fritz Lang’s Journey to the Lost City, it was culled from two separate films: Die Nibelungen, Teil 1 Siegfried and Die Nibelungen, Teil 2 Kriemhild’s Revenge, both of which were produced in Germany. In this special 2-disc edition we have included both films, both transferred from beautiful anamorphic 35mm elements. These are colossal movies, made especially great by Uwe Beyer as Siegfried and Karin Dor as Brunhilde. It is an epic story. With a magic sword in hand, Siegfried of Xanten, defeats the dragon that guards the treasure of Nibelungen. By bathing in the dragon’s blood he becomes invulnerable. He then sets off to Iceland to free the Icelandic Queen Brunhilde (Karin Dor) from her eternal slumber. The queen falls in love with him but he returns to Burgundy and falls for King Gunther’s beautiful sister, Kriemhild. Expressing a desire for a wife, Gunther is taken by Siegfried to Iceland where they use magic tricks to coerce Brunhilde into a promise of marriage. What follows is a torrent of intrigue and high adventure. There are many great scenes. These are easily two of the best fantasy epics of the 1960s. Subtitled in English. Great color, from 35mm.

Wolfman (1979) Available July 11

#horror – #horrormovies – #Wolfman – #SinisterCinema – @sinistercinema –

Nothing like a fun, schlocky American-made werewolf movie set in the Deep South and that’s what this is. The werewolf makeup isn’t exactly Jack Pierce, but it’s still pretty cool. The film begins in a rustic old mansion with the stabbing death of an old man as he lays in his death bed something about a family curse! The young heir to the estate returns home, but soon finds he has also inherited a family curse that will turn him into a werewolf on the next full moon! Before you know it, villagers with torches are searching for the Wolfman! Owensby isn’t exactly Lon Chaney, and he’s a bit on the pudgy side (kind of like Paul Naschy without the muscle mass), but somehow it all works a true drive-in B-movie, filled with outrageous schlockiness. The fact that you have a bunch of characters dressed in 1800s-style clothing but talking like modern day southern rednecks just ads to the lovable dorkiness of it all. Then there’s Ed Grady, who hams it up like Lugosi or Karloff with his wonderfully over-the-top performance as an evil clergyman. Adding to the ambience is a lurid music score that combines, piano, harpsicord, orchestral, and electronic music. Hokey, but still great fun. Beautiful color, 35mm.

From the mind of one of Italian genre cinema’s most outrageous and uncompromising filmmakers comes Black Magic Rites (Riti, magie nere e segrete orge nel Trecento… aka The Reincarnation of Isabel), Renato Polselli’s (The Vampire and the Ballerina) delirious masterpiece of salacious horror.

When beautiful Laureen throws a wild party at the castle which she has just inherited, she is blissfully unaware that its dark cellar harbours an occult sect that is hellbent on avenging the death of Isabel, who was burned at the stake 600 years earlier as a witch. The occultists’ satanic rituals call for the blood of virgins… Could Laureen be next?

Starring Mickey Hargitay (Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter?) and Rita Calderoni (A Quiet Place in the Country), this bizarre, psychedelic fusion of titillation and Italian Gothic horror is presented in an all-new 4K restoration from the original negative.
